It was -36C/-33F this morning; short but intense.
I had a cord disconnected by a bird (ie my fault) resulting in frozen/destroyed plastic $75 heated waterer (the 3rd) .
Trying a 120 watt heater plate; first with a plastic waterer (did not work overnight but that was below spec). Contemplating buying a 5 gal dual wall metal one; then read the two sleeves freeze together.
Seems no perfect solution for winter water when its cold? Anyone?
